GANDLE-EHADE STAND.

Application filed March 30, 1911.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JULIA B. SHIPMAN, of the city and county of Providence and State of ldhode Island, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Candle-Shade Stands; and I do hereby declare the following specification, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, forming a part of the same, to be a full, clear, and exact description thereof.

The invention relates to a novel form of stand or support which is designed to hold a series of candle-shades when not in use.

The object of the invention is to provide a stand of this character which is very simple in construction and cheap to produce, and which will support a candle-shade of the finest texture in such a manner as to preserve its shape and contour.

To these ends the invention consists of the novel form of stand hereinafter shown and described and more particularly set forth in the claims.

In describing the invention in detail reference will be made to the accompanying drawings in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation of my novel stand. Fig. 2 is a side view of one of the removable cones. Fig. 3 is a top plan view of the same. Fig. 4c is a side view partly in section of a modified form of cone. Fig. 5 is a top plan view of the same.

Referring to the drawings, 1 represents a suitable base which supports an upright spindle 2 provided with a series of removable pins 3 extending transversely through said spindle and projecting beyond the sides thereof, as shown in Fig. 1. Removably mounted on the spindle 1 are a series of cones 4 which are solid and preferably made of wood and of a shape to correspond with the shape of a candle-shade. Extending Specification of Letters Patent.

through the cones lis a central longitudinal opening 5. If desired the cones 4t may be made of varying sizes as shown, so as to accommodate shades of different sizes. It will be readily understood that by sliding the upper cone 4: oil of the top of the spindle 2 and removing its pin-support 3, the next cone will then be free to be removed from the spindle 2 in a similar manner.

Figs. 4 and 5 show a modified form of cone 6 which is hollow and preferably constructed of metal and provided with a central longitudinal box or bushing 7 which projects beyond the top of the cone and is provided at its end with a series of external radial. projections 8. It will be seen-that with this construction the radial projections 8 serve as a suppor for the cone next above on the spindle, and the pins 3 are not necessary.

W' hat I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

l. A device of the character described comprising a suitable base provided with a spindle and aseries of cones removably mounted on said spindle, each of said cones being provided with a projection for spacing and supporting the next adjacent cone in proper position to display the articles on each.

2. A device of the character described comprising a suitable case provided with a spindle and a series of cones removably mounted on said spindle, each of said cones being provided with a central longitudinal box projecting beyond the top of the cone and provided at its end with a series of external radial projections.
